Suspect Dies In Hospital

David Lee Monroe, the man charged with the fatal stabbing of a 12-year-old Hollywood girl Saturday, died as a result of a stroke, said Dr. Ronald Reeves, an assistant Broward County medical examiner.

Reeves said Tuesday it will be weeks before he determines what caused the stroke.

Monroe, 42, of the 100 block of Northwest 13th Avenue, Dania, died Sunday at Memorial Hospital in Hollywood the day after stabbing three women and Lasonia Simmons, a Attucks Middle School student. The three women remained hospitalized Tuesday.
